Chelly
in Melbourne Demons

I backed him a week or two ago at $15.

The only 2 currently ahead of him him in the betting are Scholl (Ade) and Warner (Syd), with Cox (Ess) at the same odds.

    Well deserved. He was brilliant yesterday, and really took control of the game in the third quarter. He’s still not great as a marking tall forward, but around the ground and in the ruck he’s looking phenomenal for his age.

    Well done Dogga!

    Has anyone made the comparison to Anthony Koutofides yet?  Thats who he reminded me of in that third quarter.

    Maybe more accurate would be a Kouta/Goodes hybrid.  But LJ will dominate in  the ruck too and those two guys were much shorter.

     Hes a very unique player.

    The Goodes comparison works for me. Also, Jimma?

    P2J - you are bringing out the pedant in me. 
     

    Can there be degrees of uniqueness?  Given that unique means one of a kind? ?

    Nic Naitanui except he gets possessions around the ground? I’d like to see that.

    Goodes/Nic Nat love child

    I don’t see the Goodes comparison at all. Completely different types of players. Goodes was a powerful, and explosive, athletic beast. Jackson is more of a gritty, aggressive inside mid, yet plays as a ruck/forward. He appears to have hands like Oliver, tackles like Nic Nat. If there is any comparison it’s probably more Nic Nat than anything.

    At least everyone's agreeing he should be compared to some of the greats of our game. 

    Kid's a gun. Congrats on the (second) nomination Luke!

    But not 10kgs overweight and half fit.

    And not super over rated either for that matter.

    He doesn't move outside of the center square that lug. Immensely overrated beyond belief.

    He has everything. 

    Skills, tenacity, in the air and on the ground, calm decision making. 

    He is going to be a superstar. 

    Move over Bont.

    Just gotta shake your head and what this kid is doing at the age of 19 and a half for somoene of his size.

    He is so good at ground level its ridiculous.

    Picks up the ball beautifully for someone his size and dances around opponents like a small as well.

    Doing a very good job at ruck and now roving his own work.

    Starting to hold marks and putting goals away.

    The icing on the cake is that old song....hes only 19.

    Id argue that the comparison isnt that far removed.

    Jackson is very athletic. Yes Adam was a very strong player but Luke is only 19 and will build much more strength.

    The more confidence and bulk he gets the more the comparison will fit.

    Well deserved. 

    Gawn was getting beaten IMO. They worked him over and I suspect the move of Jackson was to change Norths ruck set ups.

    It worked beautifully and Luke was outstanding.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
